English: At the summit of the Mauna Kea volcano, modern and traditional Hawaii clash. Here, on the one hand, are the sacred shrines and the burial grounds of the Kanaka Maoli, the native population of Hawaii. On the other hand, the astronomical observatories will be augmented by a new mirror telescope with a diameter of 30 meters - the largest in the world.

The fight for Mauna Kea's development began in 2015, when the opponents of the expansion launched a successful Internet campaign with the Hashtag #WeAreMaunaKea and fed the social networks with spectacular images of blockades of the access roads to the summit.However, there are also supporters of the telescope among some Kanaka Maoli, who see it as an important job creator.
